When most people think about pairing food and beverage, wine is the first thing that comes to mind. We at Kona Brewing Co., however, would argue that beer is the better accompaniment! The craft beer movement has challenged brewers to create a more flavorful, interesting, and exciting beverage to sip, making beer the perfect companion to good food.Go ahead, try it out! We have taken the liberty of pairing our award-winning Liquid Aloha with some tasty food items to give you a few ideas. But you don’t have to follow our path – explore on your own! When you dive into this experience, first take a sip of your beer, then taste your food, and be sure to ask yourself, “Do the flavors of this brew pair well with this amazing food?” Hipa hipa! (Hawaiian for “Cheers!”)

WELCOME TO PARADISE!

BEER PAIRING 101

OUR HISTORYKona Brewing Company was founded by father and son team Cameron Healy and Spoon Khalsa. The pair had a vision to

reflect the spirit, culture, and beauty of Hawaii in a collection of local island craft beers, so in 1994 they set out for the Big Island

to bring their dream to life.

Flash forward to today, and Kona Brewing has become one of the best-selling craft beer brands in the world. But despite our

global success, we’ve managed to stay true to our Hawaiian roots through innovation, sustainability and community

outreach. And we’re still headquartered where it all began, in Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island.
